49th Annual Conference on Management & Executive Development (CMED)

Register for the Info Session

Online info session on October 6th, 2026 at 1:00 – 2:00 pm Central Time

Thinking about joining us at the Conference on Management and Executive Development but want to know more before you commit? We would love to tell you about it in person.

We are hosting a free, informal virtual info session for anyone considering the conference this year. It is a chance to see what CMED is really about, ask any question you like, and decide whether it is the right fit for you and your center, no pressure either way.

In about 30 minutes, we will walk you through:

  • What CMED is, and who is in the room. The one annual conference built entirely for university-based executive and professional education leaders.
  • This year’s program. The peer-led sessions, keynotes, hands-on AI and other workshops, and experiential learning at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Dataland, the world’s first AI arts museum.
  • Why people come back. More than 65% of attendees return year after year, and we will share what keeps them coming.
  • The practical details. Dates, location, cost, travel, and how to make the case to your leadership.

And then we will open it up for your questions. Current attendees and Advisory Board members will be on the call, so you will hear directly from people who have been in the room.

Cannot make that time? RSVP here on this form, and we will share a recording or set up a quick one-on-one call when you are available.

“As a first time attendee, what struck me the most was the quality and expertise of the breakout session presenters, and their willingness to openly share.”

Tim Blakesly, USC Marshall School of Business

“The thing I love most about CMED is how open and generous participants are with each other.  There is an atmosphere of sharing and learning together that is hard to find anywhere else.”
